whats the difference between music 1 & 2??
The HSC for music 1 is 80% consisting of 4 electives (any configuration of performance, viva voce or composition I believe) and 20% is a 1 hour aural exam
The HSC for music 2 has one performance, composition, musicology (more music theory oriented) and a 1.5 hour aural exam (the part that surprised me was that you have to sight-sing a melody for one of the exams)
The content for music 2 is much more in-depth, about the different music styles like Baroque as far as I know.
Music 1 is much more performance oriented, since my class chose 4 performances for their electives.

My main premise was to take music 1 over sor; even though I'd have an extra unit, its another non-theory subject that relieves some stress from the exam block

I found that a really easy way to practice writing introductions fast, is to just answer the question in one or two lines (thesis statement). Coming up with a good thesis was the hardest thing to do in my intro, but I can do it in 3 minutes which is promising. From that thesis, if you can also do topic sentences for your paragraphs in another 5 minutes, it would be a great way to ensure your arguments are sound.

1. ensure your room is cooled sufficiently
2. buy a watch that allows you to track your sleep
3. track the ideal amount of time that you should sleep for - this tends to vary from person to person (hint: 8 hours is vastly different from 8 hrs and 30 mintes)
4. use a pillow with memory foam
5. ensure total darkness and no noise
6. establish a bedtime routine
also don't use your phone for 30 mins before you sleep and ideally don't have it in your room!

There would be overlaps in content like the trapezoidal rule (normal distribution perhaps?
just do maths advanced papers - maths standard questions tend to be quite generic, and ripped straight from various textbooks. the subject itself is not meant to be hard, so you won't be able to find hard questions from there.
